Creating an orchestra with a Casio SK-1 // KZO-LINA and KEYS Decent Sampler and Ableton Instrument

Using the synthesizing function of the Casio SK-1 to make an orchestration Decent Sampler library.

In this video I demonstrate the unsung feature of the SK-1 that I think makes it more special than it already is which is the synthesizing function. A lot of videos demonstrate its capabilities to use the onboard 8-bit sampler to create really short lofi clips, but I think the ability to use the onboard engine and envelopes to make unique sounds is its strongest feature.

I used this engine to create the KZO-LINA Decent Sampler library which is a synth ensemble similar to the Solina synths from back in the day (later became the ARP Solina and now Behringer even has a version coming out). Arturia also has an emulation of the Solina but one of the main limitations of the hardware was its inability to mix, tune, or pan the sounds so I made a rather detailed Decent Sampler library to do just that.

I also created a free Ableton Live instrument called KZO-KEYS which is an electronic piano pulling inspiration from Rhodes and Whirly keyboards, amongst others.

Thanks to Robert for testing these instruments! Be sure to give him a follow:
